b. Shade one half, leaving the other half
blank. S1 represents the first shaded
portion.
c. Fold again in fourths.
d. Shade one-fourth from the half that was left blank.
e. Write the total shaded portion as a fraction (S 2 ).
Write the remaining non-shaded portion as a fraction under the second
column. Fill out the third column.
f. Continue the process, filling out the columns up to S4 .
If need be, find S5 and do the same.

g. Make a conjecture about Sn
h. Prove Sn using the Principle
of Mathematical Induction (PMI).
